Re: Name My Child
Funnily enough, Gladstone is high on the list. Some good ones there Phil, thanks. Funny story, I used to work in a school with a lot of African kids.

This is a genuine competition. My first child is due in July and we are still without any boys names. We have plenty of girls names but we're pretty sure it's going to be a boy.
